RE: Mass air sensor.
the cold air intake will make the car run a little rich. so yes it will use some more gas, generally 2 mpg decrease.......
the super chip advances the timing (dunno if it leans or makes it rich)
for the stage 2 you need a low temp thermo, catback and intake..... or it wont run right.

If you're screen is in, yes MAF should work fine. CAI shouldn't make the car run richer, as the PCM should maintain 14.7 AFR during normal driving. If anything, it would lean it out.

If you put in the CAI yourself, you should have seen a screen on the end of the MAF/Throttle body unit. All it does is straighten air flow so MAF will read incoming air correctly.
